Hi guys did anyone do this conversion,if so does anyone know where i can get the 1/16th black pinstripe and light defuser?Also is it worth doing,Cheers guys

A few people have...

 

….But seeing as many OEM rear lights have either cracked or faded in 25+ years, unless yours are immaculate, you may well consider investing in a brand new set of JDM 99-specs. Not necessarily cheap, but much less effort - and they do look so much better!

I've done loads. I used 2mm pinstripe.

I'll sell you the 2 x clear diffuser lenses if you like, cut more or less to size and it matches perfectly the top red part, so better than the one used in the video you posted. You'll need to attach these to the plastic insert with silicone.

 

You do need 2mm pin stripe like Birdy says, I have this as well, you'll need to apply free hand though and there's a skill to that.

Would you be willing to share where you purchased the clear diffuser from? I'm also cosidering modding a set of spare lights and would like to get as close as possible to the real thing.

I bought all they had at the time in large pieces, so cannot replace hence my reluctance in the past to sell but things have changed.

 

Here's a pic and I can supply enough of the pin stripe for the job, it's probably just over a meter but I may split/cut to length this into the 12 pieces required.

 

One side of the diffuser is flat and the other raised, you'll attach as is to the light insert, for this I used hot glue in places for immediate hold, with a rotary tool I then trimmed a tiny bit off the corners of the diffuser and then lavished flexible silicone all around, leave to cure.

 

£25 delivered for the lenses or £27.50 with the stripes.

I'm going to hold off for the moment as I have a large stack of parts that I need to put to use before I go buying anything else. :thumbup1:
